Hii nilikuwa expert level.. Nilikuwa nalipwa na mayai tano - the equivalent of a Bob. Halafu inageuzwa kuwa Elliot's! Scones.

Were you using a tin (500g ya Kimbo) or you were one of those tough mohines that used to say tins are for ametuers?

Mimi hata sikutumia mkebe, just sisal string and wire.

It used to depend on the crop being defended. Fuko on dania or carrot field was not as lucrative as wale wanasumbuana na napier grass.

We found the job of cutting out the lids and burning the tons too much work. And then moles sometimes rejected traps where others had died so you had to get another tin.Wewe ulikua muoto sana.
I never graduated from tins. I bet I'm still a tin man

They were reusable. The trick to prevent rejection was placing more food in the tin.

Haha not at all. Used to go to ocha for most holidays while in primary school. Never got to see a huko and always assumed they're called fuko until today. I remember the folks digging underground trenches kwa shamba and warming about big rats that would eat roots. Fascinating stuff
